mw13, do you disagree that a woman’s place is in the home and that civilization for thousands of years, until roughly 100 years ago, always recognized and acted as such. And are you unfamiliar that our seforim hakedoshim state that a man’s place is to go out in the world and engage outside the home while a woman’s place is to remain in the home and run they family’s domestic affairs?
Do you think not only the American founding fathers got it wrong, but all of civilization from the beginning of time until Susan B. Anthony came along all got it wrong, including Chazal and our own chachomim?
So, based on that logic, let’s empty out all the yeshivos were masses learn every day, so that they can go to work and their wives can stay home. After all, the phenomenon of so many people learning is very new, in the post-Shoah world.
Do you think that all of Jewish history from the beginning of the settling of Eretz Yisroel until the Holocaust had it wrong, including Chazal?
